While tifluadom has several effects which might have potential
uses in medicine such as analgesia and appetite stimulation,
κ-opioid agonists tend to produce undesirable effects in humans
such as dysphoria and hallucinations, and so these drugs tend to
only be used in scientific research. Dysphoric effects are similar
to those seen when using other κ-opioid
receptor agonists like Pentazocine and Salvia
Divinorum..
